Baylor beats Longhorns as offense struggles

Notre Dame squeaks by Stanford on late Everett Golson TD pass (GIFs)
In a game that featured plenty of sloppy play amid strong performances from two defenses, it was No. 9 Notre Dame that managed to squeak by No. 14 Stanford and pass its first test of the season in a 17-14 win.
Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson overcame two first half turnovers and a poor completion rate to come through when it counted, tossing the game-winning touchdown pass with 1:01 to go.
The odds were stacked against him, too.
Stanford took a 14-10 lead on an 11-yard Remound Wright touchdown run with 3:01 left in the ballgame. The Fighting Irish offense had not reached the end zone against the stingy Stanford defense since the second quarter, but Golson quickly led the offense deep into Stanford territory.
After the Cardinal defense dropped Golson for a loss on third down, Notre Dame had no choice but to go for it on a 4th-and-11 from the 23-yard line. Golson took a deep drop and felt the pocket collapse. He then rolled left and fired to a wide-open Ben Koyack in the back left corner of the end zone for a score.
Koyack ran a corner route and a coverage gaffe allowed him to run free past two Stanford defenders. By the time Golson found him, defenders were closing, but the 6-foot-5, 254-pound senior caught the pass and held on while absorbing a big hit.
The touchdown put Notre Dame up 17-14 with 1:01 to go and the Fighting Irish defense, which allowed only 205 total yards, subsequently held on for the win.
The Notre Dame defense put a halt on Stanford’s running game, limiting the Cardinal to just 47 yards. With the running game ineffective, senior quarterback Kevin Hogan was forced to go to the air and he struggled to just 158 yards passing and two interceptions on 18-of-36 throwing.
Hogan did score on a 10-yard run to start the scoring late in the first quarter, but Notre Dame responded to tie the score a quarter later on a 17-yard TD pass from Golson to Chris Brown. Neither team put up any points until Kyle Brinda booted a 45-yarder midway through the fourth. The Cardinal then responded with Wright’s touchdown prior to Golson’s heroics.
The game was largely a defensive struggle, but Notre Dame also gave away points on two botched field goal attempts on a rain-soaked evening.
Golson completed only 20-of-43 passes, threw an interception and lost a fumble in the first half, but he finished with 241 yards passing and two scores while connecting with eight different receivers. It wasn't his best performance, but it was just enough to get the Fighting Irish to 5-0.
This was an important win for Notre Dame from a national perspective. It was the team’s first game against a ranked opponent, so we really didn’t have a true barometer of how good this Notre Dame team was.
Is it a contender for the College Football Playoff? It still remains to be seen, but that question will likely be answered in two weeks when the Fighting Irish travel to Tallahassee to take on top-ranked Florida State.
The loss drops Stanford to 3-2, but it has plenty of time to dig itself out of a hole with nothing but Pac-12 games on the schedule for the rest of the season.

No. 20 TCU upsets No. 4 Oklahoma to remain undefeated
TCU coach Gary Patterson has had some big wins during his tenure, but Saturday’s 37-33 win against No. 4 Oklahoma has to be right near the top.
The Horned Frogs went step-for-step with the Oklahoma offense in the first half and then their defense buckled down in the second and got a pick-six for the go-ahead score.
It’s by far the biggest TCU victory as a member of the Big 12 and one that puts the undefeated Horned Frogs in the early hunt for the Big 12 title.
“I just told them to buy in and not worry about the scoreboard,” coach Gary Patterson said of his tea. “Just play to the last minute and that’s what they did today. The coaches did a great job, kids did a great job. We’re 4-0.”
And no one thought the Horned Frogs would be here, especially coming off a 4-8 campaign a year ago. But TCU has been one of the best all-around teams this season and Saturday it proved that it could play that well against the nation’s elite.
While the Horned Frogs defense will — and should — get much of the credit for this victory, quarterback Trevone Boynkin had one of the best games of his career with 318 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 75 yards. And TCU was able to overcome some of his mistakes, including an interception and a fumble.
But in the end, it was a pick-six by linebacker Paul Dawson that sealed the deal. Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight, who was polished in the first half and shaky in the second, tried throw a pass over Dawson, but Dawson snagged it out of the air at the line of scrimmage and ran it 41 yards for the score. Oklahoma blocked the extra point and ran it back to the end zone for two points, but that would cap the scoring.
With all of the fallout in the Top 25 this weekend, TCU is sure to vault up the national rankings from No. 20. TCU and Baylor are now the only remaining undefeated teams in the Big 12, and the two teams meet next week.
That game will go a long way in determining how the Big 12 fits in the national landscape and in the upcoming playoff push.

Ole Miss comes back and holds on to upset Alabama 23-17
The SEC West madness has begun.
Ole Miss scored two touchdowns in just over two-and-a-half minutes in the fourth quarter to erase a seven-point deficit and beat Alabama 23-17.
QB Bo Wallace connected with RB Jaylen Walton on the go-ahead TD pass with 2:54 left in the fourth quarter. But there was plenty of drama to come after the Rebels took the lead for the first time since the first quarter.
First, the Rebels missed the extra point. Twice, actually. The first went off the upright and was erased by a roughing the kicker penalty against Tony Brown. On the second attempt, Brown got around the edge again, stayed away from kicker Andrew Fletcher and blocked the kick.
Alabama drove down the field and got to the Ole Miss 22 before a holding penalty. On the next play, Alabama QB Blake Sims threw into double coverage and 5-foot-11 Senquez Golson outjumped 6-foot-6 Alabama TE O.J. Howard for the interception, which was initially called incomplete.
After a review, the call was overturned and the game was over.
It's Mississippi's first win over Alabama since 2003 and is also the first time the school has been 5-0 since 1962. The Rebels and in-state rival Mississippi State are each 2-0 in the conference while LSU, Texas A&M and now Alabama all have one loss. And oh, by the way, Auburn travels to Oxford, Miss., on November 1. Who saw the Egg Bowl on November 29 between the Mississippi schools to potentially decide the division?
After Ole Miss cut Alabama's lead to 14-10 in the third quarter, Alabama had three opportunities to extend the lead to two possessions. It managed a field goal and two punts.
Following two punts of its own, Ole Miss broke through and tied the game at 17-17 when Wallace found Vince Sanders for a 34 yard TD pass.
Ole Miss was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the touchdown and since it kicked off 15 yards deeper, the kickoff was returnable. Alabama's Christion Jones returned it and fumbled. Five plays later, Ole Miss had the lead.
Wallace got a lot of flak for his comments in 2013, when he said that Ole Miss would score at Alabama and the Rebels subsequently were shut out 25-0. While Sims was fantastic against Florida two weeks ago, Wallace was the best QB on Saturday. He avoided the mistakes that have plagued him through his career and finished 18-of-31 for 259 yards passing and three touchdowns. Sims was 19-of-31 for 228 yards and the costly interception.
After the win, Mississippi fans could not contain themselves, rushing the field – and even jumping on goalpost – to celebrate.

Georgia running back Todd Gurley completes 50-yard pass (GIF)
Georgia star running back Todd Gurley used his arm – not his legs – to help the Bulldogs increase their lead late in the first half against Vanderbilt.
On a second-down play from Georgia’s 23 yard line, Gurley lined up as a wildcat quarterback. The Vanderbilt defense was understandably expecting Gurley to run. Instead, he faked a handoff and looked down field, finding tight end Jeb Blazevich streaking downfield.
The left-handed Gurley delivered a perfect toss to Blazevich behind the defense for a 50-yard gain. The connection between Gurley and Blazevich was the longest pass play of the season for Georgia, who was able to score on a Hutson Mason pass to Chris Conley five plays later.
Currently ranked 13th in the nation, Georgia leads the Commodores 34-10 early in the fourth quarter. In addition to his 50 yards throwing, Gurley has 117 yards rushing and two scores along with two catches for 24 yards.

Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard blasts Big 12 referees (Video)
Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard took the podium following the Cyclones 37-20 loss to Oklahoma State to blast the referees.
“We’ve been on the short end of some controversial calls and it’s hard to sit idle and watch ESPN, Fox, other announcers not debate, but to feel sorry for Iowa State because maybe there will be another apology for a call,” Pollard said. “Coach Rhoads and I have tried to deal with that internally and have tried to do it the right way. But it’s no longer fair to put our student-athletes, our coaching staff and our fans in that position.”
While Pollard didn’t specifically mention which call or calls he was protesting, the first half of the game did end on a controversial play. With the game tied 6-6, Oklahoma State running back Desmond Roland appeared to be stopped short on fourth-and-goal as time expired. However, after a review, the score counted and Iowa State went into the half with a touchdown deficit.
This isn’t the first time Iowa State has been on the short end of a questionable call.
Following the Sept. 6 loss to Kansas State, the Big 12 issued Iowa State an apology for a mishandled replay.
“I can think of three situations where the fine has been pretty great because we lost games as a result of calls that either we were apologized for or the media certainly felt we should have been apologized to,” Pollard said. “We can’t get that back. That ends careers for football coaches, ADs and presidents and so something’s got to be done. I don’t know what it is, but there needs to be more accountability on what happens in certain situations.”
Pollard noted that a year and a half ago, he and Rhoads “raised an issue” and represented the only vote regarding that matter. Pollard said since that time, “we’ve been on the short end of the stick.”
Conferences don’t allow members of teams to speak out against officials and Pollard acknowledged that he was going to get fined for his actions. However, he said he felt like the penalty was worth it.
“I felt it was appropriate to stand up here right now and stand behind our team, stand behind our coaching staff,” Pollard said. “And I recognize that the Big 12 does not allow comments to be made on officiating, and I recognize there’s penalties for that. But folks, our institution’s been penalized already.”

Iowa State forgets to receive kickoff, Oklahoma State recovers (Video)
Oklahoma State was struggling early on in its home game against 1-3 Iowa State Saturday afternoon, but an unusual blunder by the Cyclones allowed the Cowboys to take the lead late in the first half.
After tying the score 6-6 on a 30-yard Ben Grogan field goal with 1:47 left in the second quarter, Oklahoma State kicked off to the Cyclones. The kickoff was high and short, but instead of fielding the kick, the ball landed around the 25-yard line in between ISU’s two return men.
Once the ball goes ten yards, it is live for any player to pounce on. As the ball bounced past the two Cyclones, Oklahoma State’s Elliott Jeffcoat did just that and gave his team awesome field position at ISU’s 11-yard line. Five plays later, the Cowboys found the end zone on a Desmond Roland two-yard touchdown run to take a 13-6 lead going into halftime.
Iowa State’s special teams unit failed again at the start of the third quarter when OSU’s Tyreek Hill brought back the opening kickoff 97 yards for a score. It took 56 seconds of game time for the Cowboys to take a 14-point lead after initially tying the score at six.
Iowa State just couldn’t get out of its own way and eventually lost 37-20.

Alabama RB Kenyan Drake was carted off the field in the second quarter against Ole Miss after suffering a gruesome ankle injury.
Drake was running after making a catch and his left foot was caught on the ground and twisted awkwardly he was taken to the ground. He immediately started screaming when the injury happened and was tended to by trainers.
Here's a GIF of the injury. (Warning, the aftermath is graphic.)

Drake, a junior, is part of Alabama's three-headed monster running back rotation with Derrick Henry and T.J. Yeldon. Through four-plus games he has 22 carries for 112 yards and four touchdowns and five catches for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Against Florida he caught an 87-yard touchdown pass from Blake Sims on the Crimson Tide's first offensive play of the game.

Ohio State dominates Maryland, looks like a team to fear in Big Ten
In its Big Ten opener, Ohio State went on the road and overwhelmed Maryland in a 52-24 blowout win. While racking up 533 yards of total offense, the Ohio State defense forced four Terps turnovers and looked like a different team than the one that lost to Virginia Tech at home in early September.
The Buckeyes offense was rolling from the start with redshirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett showing renewed confidence and total command of head coach Urban Meyer’s offense.
Barrett threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns on 18-of-23 throwing and running back Ezekiel Elliott continued to assert himself as the Buckeyes’ top ball-carrying option. The 225-pound sophomore built off last weekend’s career high 182 yards against Cincinnati with 139 more yards on 5.8 yards per carry. To add to the team’s 269 rushing yards, Barrett racked up 71 yards and a score on the ground to bolster his big day.
The Buckeyes dominated the Terps on both sides of the line of scrimmage. While the running game picked up big chunks of yards seemingly at will, OSU’s ferocious pass rush got to Maryland senior quarterback C.J. Brown early and often.
When it looked like Maryland had a chance to get back into the game late in the first half, coach Randy Edsall did his team no favors. The Terps put together a touchdown drive and stopped OSU in back-to-back series late in the second quarter, but Buckeyes punter Cameron Johnston pinned the Terps at their own 7-yard line with a 69-yard punt.
Instead of running the first half clock out with a bit of momentum before regaining possession to open the third quarter, Edsall and offensive coordinator Mike Locksley dialed up a pass play. Brown, who was later benched, felt the heat from OSU defensive end Joey Bosa and Brown threw an interception. One play later the Buckeyes’ lead ballooned to 31-10 on a Barrett touchdown pass.
The Terps, in what was their home Big Ten debut with a sellout crowd, didn’t have a chance from there on out.
With the Virginia Tech loss in the rearview mirror, the 4-1 Buckeyes are starting to look like the team that was ranked fifth in the preseason Associated Press poll. Things are starting to fall into place. The young offensive line is gelling, the defense is swarming to the ball, and young playmakers on offense are making plays.
That is bad news for the rest of the Big Ten.

Freshman QB Treon Harris provides spark in 10-9 win against Tennessee
After suffering through yet another dismal offensive performance by starter Jeff Driskel, coach Will Muschamp gave freshman Treon Harris a shot and the Gators responded.
Harris, who was only 2 of 4 for 17 yards throwing the ball, provided a spark on the ground for the otherwise lackluster offense and led the Gators on their only two scoring drives of the game, including the drive for the game-winning field goal. The backup also finished with 24 yards on four carries and delivered timely plays for his team in the narrow win.
“We just needed to change things up,” Muschamp said of switching quarterbacks. “It wasn’t all Jeff. We had some protection issues. Treon did a fantastic job and we’ll see going forward.”
Prior to Harris’ entrance, Driskel completed 11-of-23 passes for 59 yards and three interceptions.
Muschamp did say whether Harris would be the team’s starter going forward, but did say it would be evaluated next week.

Iowa State's E.J. Bibbs made a one-handed TD catch against Oklahoma State (GIF)
How about this touchdown catch by Iowa State TE E.J. Bibbs?
Bibbs made a one-handed snag of a pass from Sam Richardson in the third quarter against Oklahoma State as a defender closed in on him from behind and as he saw another closing in on him.
Bibbs, a preseason All-Big 12 selection has had a slow start to the season. The TD catch is just his second of the year and he had 11 catches for 88 yards entering the season. But with that score you can see why he is so highly regarded.
The TD pass came on a fortunate second chance for Iowa State as well. Richardson threw an interception to the same area of field the play before. However, Oklahoma State was called for defensive holding and Iowa State also committed a foul, and as the penalties offset, Iowa State got a second chance.
Bibbs' TD closed Iowa State's deficit to 20-13, but Oklahoma State immediately responded with a score. The Cowboys also scored on the final play of the first half and returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown.

The singer was the pregame show's guest picker on Saturday at Ole Miss. As she made her way to the stage through the fans in attendance, Perry was surrounded by 10 troopers as well as others.
She wore a pink football jersey and brought a Hotty Toddy for each of the cast members.
Perry's manager is an Ole Miss alum and the singer is playing in Memphis, Tenn., on Sunday night so she was in the vicinity and able to make the trip down to Oxford, Miss., for the show. The game between Ole Miss and Alabama is her first college football game ever.
Because of her Ole Miss connections, she chose the Rebels, though Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard all chose Alabama. She was the second straight singer to be a guest picker on GameDay. The previous week in Columbia, S.C., Kenny Chesney was on the GameDay set. He's friends with South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier.
She also broke out a corndog (and subsequently a plate of them) when picking the game between LSU and Auburn.
Before the picks began, host Chris Fowler brought up the possibility of Perry playing the halftime show at the Super Bowl. Perry acknowledged that discussions had taken place but said that she would not pay to perform and put the onus on the NFL. In August, a report emerged that the league wanted musical acts to pay to be the halftime show.
